We’re the lucky ones, you and me.
Sure we’ve been through some tough times – and watched our dogs suffer through a disease they couldn’t understand and definitely didn’t deserve. But through it all, we were lucky – because no matter how much they (and we) suffered – at least we could afford to get our dogs the care they needed to have a chance. Maybe it was a surgery or chemo, or the natural remedies that worked so well for my dog Marty when he was sick.
But at least our dogs HAVE A CHANCE…
My name is Ted Schneck, and I run a website that helps hundreds of dog owners each month find hope and learn what they need to do to help their dog fight cancer.
This summer I’ll be riding my bicycle across America – Pacific to Atlantic – 4,281 miles, over 82 days – to raise money for charities that help dog owners who couldn’t otherwise afford it pay for their dog’s cancer care. I’ll leave from the Oregon Coast on May 25th (right toe in the Pacific) – and end with my left toe in the Atlantic on August 14th, 2008 (the 1 year anniversary of my own dog Marty’s death after his 18 month long battle with cancer).
This Dog Cancer Ride Across America supports 3 wonderful dog cancer charities – “The Magic Bullet Fund”, “Best Friends Forever”, and the newly formed “Marty Miracle Fund” – which was formed to honor my own dog Marty, and help other dogs get the same miracle of life he got through the natural remedies we used to care for his cancer. All tax-deductible donations to the Dog Cancer Ride Across America will be managed by “Giving Globally” 501(c)(3) (an Oregon based 501(c)(3) non-profit) to ensure that these donations get to the dogs who need it most. (You can read more about these wonderful charities on the Charities Page of our website.
I encourage you to check out this website, learn more about the ride, the charities and the dogs it supports… (don’t forget to check out the MAP OF HEROES, where you can add your personal tribute to your own “Dog Cancer Hero”), and most of all, go to my secure fundraising sponsorship page, where you can donate any amount to help these wonderful dogs get access to the natural cancer care they deserve…
